Nat Brant

The Town that Started the Civil War


Nothing makes history come alive like a dramatization of true events.  I recently saw one based on the events in Nat Brant's The Town that Started the Civil War.  I had no idea of the history surrounding Ohio in regards to the Underground Railroad.  There were so many pivotal events that happened in Ohio I'm coming to find.  It was definitely an eye-opener to find out what happened in Oberlin oh so many years ago.  Oberlin was one of the few places where the races were truly integrated.
